In this step you will create a new project and add a reference to the C1.Silverlight.Excel assembly.

1. Create a new Silverlight project.
2. Select Project | Add Reference and browse to find C1.Silverlight.Excel.dll. Click OK.
3. Add a standard button control to the page and set its Content property to Save.
4. Double-click the button to switch to the code view of MainPage.xaml.cs. This will also add a button1_Click event to the code.
5. Add the Imports (Visual Basic) or using (C#) statement to the code at the top of the form so you can use all names within the C1.Silverlight.Excel namespace.

   Visual Basic	Copy Code
   Imports C1.Silverlight.Excel

    

   C#	Copy Code
   using C1.Silverlight.Excel;

    

Now you can add some content to a C1XLBook.
